into-- when you look down and see mitt romney, think george bush. guest: the makeup of the senate in particular, the control of the senate is in question, it's possible the republicans, if they win four seats or five seats, they will have control of the next congress and that could make a big difference. there are small number states and some of them have small populations, like montana and other places around the country where it's relatively cheap to be involved in a big way on television or in other ways of communicating with a relatively small number of voters. so there's a lot of focus on those senate races. and this weekend i spent time looking at some house races. there are about 60 across the country that are up for grabs it. they are pretty close. the campaigns are raising a lot of money in those districts. certainly, more than $1 million for each candidate and often more than $2 million or $3 million. it was noteworthy that these outside groups in many of these districts, in 15 or so of these 60 closest house races, more money has been spe

bush. if you remember in that campaign, bush had actually been leading in the popular vote poll and had his electoral college problem then he ended up losing the popular vote and winning electoral college. there's a lot of -- the research that's been done has said the dui thing didn't have that much impact. it might have been the kind of thing in the last minute people who had kind of gone along with bush who had reservations about his maturity, maybe it brought that back in the final days. that's the only other one i can think of. no, we've never seen anything like this. >> in terms of what has happened since the onset of the storm, it was not just the storm arriving. it was the knowledge it was coming. the prepositioning of assets. the way that the campaigns both addressed the impending crisis and the way the president has responded since it happened. is there a way to reasonably measure the political impact of what's happened thus far? >> yeah, we can measure it if we get more national p

remember in 2000, al gore got about half a million more votes than george w. bush. but he lost florida by 537 votes as all of our viewers remember, and as a result, george w. bush had enough to win the more than 270 you need to be elected president of the united states and so you could have a situation that would develop in this particular case, maybe romney would win the popular vote but obama would win the electoral college. it wouldn't be the first time and that is certainly a possibility at this point. these national polls, when you add them all together and do an average of all the polls, i have learned over the years that they are pretty accurate among likely voters. but what matters is the battleground states, what the polls are there. and there's only one poll that really counts and that is the poll that takes place on tuesday. so we'll know soon enough. >> a national poll showing romney's national favorability at 53%, just shy of obama at 54%, there used to be a much greater gap there, are we saying that turn decideds are certainly playing a role in a big w

it reminds me of the stated reason that george w. bush didn't land in new orleans right after hurricane katrina. he didn't want to get in the way of some of the cleanup. of course that disaster response didn't go as well as it looks like president obama is handling the response happening this time. but there is the danger dealing with secret service logistics at a time when regular logistics, just living every day life, becomes incredibly hard. >> i think it's worth pointing out certainly the obama campaign probably didn't imagine the extent. warmth of the words that chris christie has for the president, but mitt romney held his disaster relief event in ohio yesterday. the question that dogged him that he would not answer was about fema. take a listen. >> governor, what should fema's role be? governor, would you eliminate fema if you were president? >> well, it's either 11 or 14 times, depending on whose count you believe. the campaign released a statement saying that romney would not abolish fema but, quote, governor romney believes
